Feds seized nearly 1,500 guns in raid
So, let me get this straight: DHS raided a guy's home, and seizes his entire gun collection even though he didn't break the law? How is this shit legal? I thought it was "Innocent until proven guilty"?
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A federal search warrant affidavit outlines the massive raid that seized nearly 1,500 firearms from the home and business of an Albuquerque man and why the feds were after him.
Last week rifles lined the lawn of a northeast Albuquerque home that belonged to Robert Adams. Homeland Security Investigations was also busy loading hundreds of handguns into boxes.
It took federal agents days to log every weapon seized into evidence.
Four search warrants filed Thursday show the HSI investigators seized nearly 900 firearms from Adams' home. There were 548 handguns and 317 rifles listed in the warrant return inventory.
They also searched his office that day taking 599 pistols and revolvers.
Adams has not been charged with any crimes although Homeland Security said the investigation is not over yet.
Neighbors said Adams was a gun collector, and some heard he was a licensed gun seller, too.
Federal investigators confirm that. However, they're also investigating him for possible gun smuggling, tax evasion and violating importation laws.
So, let me get this straight: DHS raided a guy's home, and seizes his entire gun collection even though he didn't break the law? How is this shit legal? I thought it was "Innocent until proven guilty"?
